Unstoppable Antihero
Chapter 5: The Power

“I start!” Kaysen swung his right hand forward, making the fist-shaped ball of wind rush towards Atlas. “Receive this!”

Atlas remained calm, draining Erebus on the sand in his left hand, then put the sand on the left side of the manual scale. His eyes were sharp forward, saying, “Libras Scales: Equivalent Exchange!”

A bell-like sound was heard from the manual scales in Atlas' swaying hands. Not long after, the grains of sand were scattered, darting forward destroying Kaysen's ball of wind. Still unfinished, Atlas again picked up a handful of sand with his left hand, then repeated the attack.

The dust grains shot out like bullets, destroying all the barriers in front of him. Kaysen did not want to lose, formed sturdy horses and immediately launched a hard blow forward using his right hand. This time a fist-shaped ball of wind the size of a large rock, shot out from Kaysen's hand.

Still able to act calm, Atlas suddenly thought of something. “I think I should try that,” he muttered softly while closing his eyes. “Ah, I don't think it's necessary now.” Atlas opened his eyes again while taking a deep breath.

Slowly Atlas blew the left side of the scales with the wind already mixed with Erebus. “Libra Scales: Equivalent Exchange!”

Once again there was the sound of the clanking of the bell as the Atlas scales moved. This time, the manual scales created a gigantic sword that immediately split Kaysen's attack into two pieces.

Loud thumping rang out, dust scattered here and there blinding the vision. However, like a bat in the dark of the night, Kaysen darted quickly forward, launching a hard punch with his right hand. Unfortunately, the opponent moved to the side, then blew the left side of the manual scales he carried.

“Libra Scales: Equivalent Exchange,” murmured the opponent.

Like a storm coming in the middle of the magnificent party music, a strong gust of wind smashed Kaysen's body until it slammed to the edge of the arena. Dust was still flying to and fro, like small papers thrown in the crowd.

Atlas closed his eyes for a moment, stopping to coat himself using Erebus. In addition, he also immediately returned the manual scales in his right hand to its original form, the Erebus that entered the body.

After opening his eyes, Atlas glanced at his right hand for a moment, muttering, “It turns out I do have this much power.” He immediately clenched his right hand tightly, then straightened his head. “Information of the blue glowing figure that entered into me was not wrong.”

Just as the dust started to dissipate in the wind, Irene's shadow immediately drew closer towards Atlas. A few steps ahead of the young man, the shadow stopped, saying, “It turns out you are a Star Child. No wonder you survived that battle.”

Like not caring too much about the previous sentence of the shadow, Atlas asked, “Is it the worst battle so it is a miracle to survive there?”

“Ya.” Irene's shadow was silent for a moment. “It was the worst battle between the Fire Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom.”

It turns out that the situation in this world is not good. Atlas. “In any world man does not escape with various problems.”

On the other hand, Kaysen was seen rising as people began to come to his aid. One of them immediately helped Kaysen stand up slowly.

“Slow-only,” says the person who helped Kaysen.

“Ya ..” Kaysen stood up slowly.

“But it was a great fight,” suddenly someone else interrupted.

“Bintang Kids are great as predicted,” reply others.

Kaysen let go of the hand of the person who had just helped him stand up. “I'm fine.” He immediately walked to the center of the field, right where the shadows of Irene and Atlas were.

“Sorry,” Atlas said as he scratched his head while smiling awkwardly, “it looks like I did it a little outrageous.”

Kaysen remained silent while bowing his head. Seeing that, Atlas became guilty of giving off a bit of his fighting ability. However, he was also aware that it had already happened and could not be repeated.

“I'm so happy to fight with Anak Bintang!!” Kaysen hugged Atlas. The young man smiled widely, his eyes letting out a hint of tears, while his voice faltered slightly. “I'm very happy.”

“It ...” Of course Atlas did not know what had just happened, but slowly a faint smile formed on his lips as the two young men's hands returned Kaysen's embrace. “I really don't know what to say.”

“Kaysen is indeed a little strange,” said Irene's shadow. “He can be very happy when fighting with people stronger than him. Indeed it deserves his nickname as a fighting maniac.”

“Ah ..” Atlas immediately let go of his embrace as Kaysen slowly pulled back his hand. “Basically he's just a typical fighter maniac who happens to have great talent, huh?”

“Hehehe ..” Kaysen scratched his head. Tears were still washing both sides of the young man's cheeks, but it was not tears that came out of sadness, but rather from being very happy. Although Atlas did not understand why anyone could be happy because of a fight alone.

Shortly after, a short-haired woman walked into the Zelos Cage Arena, closing in on Atlas, Kaysen, and Irene's shadow. The woman walked slowly as she said, “I didn't expect that there would be such a big furore here.” He stopped just to the right of Irene's shadow.

“This time I brought a great blessing, right?” ask Irene's shadow.

Short haired woman—Antha, replied, “Just a coincidence.”

“Then,” said Atlas ignored the conversation between Antha and Irene's shadow, “did you find something about my identity?”

Antha rolled her eyes. “You are Atlas Hiromasa, a seventh Star Child, The Libra!”

“You know that's not what I want to hear, right?”

“Alright, alright.” Antha let out a long breath. “Atlas Hiromasa is a Nomos of Erato Ixion. And that's all I can find with my other colleagues.”

“It's okay. So it was enough, so I could go back to where I was supposed to be.” Certainly Atlas knew that the information was not enough, but he also did not want to burden others too much.

“Omong-by the way,” shadow Irene interrupts, “what will you do after this, Atlas?”

“I also want to know!” connect Kaysen.

“I think I also need to know it as a Zelos,” says Antha.

Instead of being asked, Atlas felt like he was in an interrogation room. But he doesn't want to think about it too much. “I don't know either. Maybe I'll get to know more about the Air Kingdom first.”

“You want to travel?” Kaysen's eyes were sparkling. “I'm coming with you!”

“I haven't even answered your question ..” said Atlas with a flat face.

“But I will stay with you wherever you go!”

“That's the name of a stalker!”
